Aida Cruises AIDAluna was expected to sail from New York to New England / Canada or the Coastal US and Bahamas - until AIDA cruises decided to cancel all 2020 US based cruises.

Aida Cruises, a German based cruise line owned by Carnival Corporation , has made the decision to suspend all cruises to the United States and Canada in 2020 due to travel bans and restrictions in both countries. The cruise line has traditionally sailed from New York to both New England / Canada and East Coast ports like Norfolk, Charleston SC, Port Canaveral and the Bahamas on two ships. Most of their cruises feature overnight stay in New York to offer their German Clientele time to explore New York City.

The AIDA ships have limited dining room eateries and were focused more on buffets and cooking stations. Based on the new corona restrictions, the cruise line will have to re-think their dining experiences.

For the summer and fall of 2020 AIDA was expecting to sail the AIDAluna and AIDAdiva from New York. Those cruises have been cancelled at this time.

Canada currently has a ban in place for all cruise ships which have a passenger capacity of over 100 through October 31, 2020. Because of these restrictions a number of major cruise lines are being forced to delay their return to operations.
